== Video Production ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' That would be great. So here's the hang up with the, the video that we're trying to work out. So I can't say everyone come watch us do this live recording because I haven't solidified the room yet. That's what I was talking about alluding to earlier, um, with the people that run the pen show. I've asked for their classroom to shoot our, um, to shoot our video in, you know, the classroom where they're going to do these calligraphy and handwriting classes. And I haven't gotten a definitive answer that we're going to be able to use that after the show. So I'm still waiting to hear back. If we get that, we might be able to have a few people show up and watch us, but I wouldn't hold your breath for that. It may be not possible.

'''Myke Hurley:''' cause I've also like fundamentally as well, we need to make sure that we can make the video look and sound as good as possible because they're right for the people that have paid for it. Um, and a back. Yeah. It needs to be good quality. So we, yeah, we need to make sure that wherever we're recording, like we need to make sure we had the best way for that. So it might mean that, that you can't be there to watch us, but probably by Saturday, you'll be sick of our faces anyway. If you are coming. That's true. You know, you might want to put a bit of time away from us so you can talk about us behind our backs or something like that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So I want to do that. We're going to do that reasonably early Saturday. Um, after the show, the show ends at five, I would like to get the recording started by six. And then, um, that way we have the rest of the night free to hang out with anyone and everyone, you know, maybe we can just hang out at the hotel bar. Maybe we can all go grab a bite to eat somewhere, whatever we want to do. Um, and then Sunday we all recover and, and, uh, zone out and, uh, just kind of chill out and relax and have a nice day at the show. And I don't know when, when are you heading out? You don't leave till Monday, right?

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah. I leave Monday afternoon.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh no, don't tell him that. Oh, cause yeah, cause because they're making me work in the shop. They'll make you work in the shop too. Tell him you're leaving. Yes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. So anyone that's in town on Monday can come watch Myke work and knock until his flight's ready. Cause he doesn't fly out till the evening and I have to get back home. So, uh, Jeff is going to be babysitting, uh, Mr. Hurley, um, at the shop.

'''Myke Hurley:''' He keeps sending me messages about all the things we're going to do. It's quite funny. So tell him, you're like, what we're going to eat, like the tacos are going to get and stuff like that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So he's very, uh, very much going to get you to our, our favorite not co lunch, um, lunch spot, which is Hankook Taqueria, which is, uh, a really awesome, uh, Korean barbecue Tex-Mex kind of place, which is just.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Okay. I'm all in for lunch.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's one of the, I'm not working, but I'm eating. It's one of the best spots in all of Atlanta. And it's basically just, they, they, they cut it out of like an old convenience store. It's like a total dive, but it's like one of those places that where the lion will come out the door kind of thing. So it's legit. So it's, uh, it's one of those places that you kind of have to do. So, um, what else gang? I mean, I just, I'm so excited to meet the people more than anything. Anna, you, especially Myke, you, especially y'all are going to get big hugs from me. I can't wait to see you guys. I'm so excited. Um, that it's actually beating down my anxiety about getting it all planned. It's going to be so much fun that I'm not letting all the other little stuff, you know, like I would normally, normally stressing out to the hilt. I just know how much fun this weekend is going to be. And, you know, I just appreciate you guys and I appreciate all the listeners and all the people that are coming to the show. Um, I want to, it's going to be pretty amazing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I want to just thank everyone who put money in. Like to make this happen. Like we literally could not be doing this without the people that supported the Kickstarter campaign. Um, like to make this possible. So just thank you so much. Cause we're really excited. I hope that you're really excited. We're going to do our very best, like to get the best footage that we can. Steven sent me a picture the other day, Brad, they got it. They're bringing a drone.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So we're going to have a drone, um, especially for the party for the party. Yeah. Pretty good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, so that like, cause basically my, my co-founder Steven and his brother are coming down and they're going to be shooting the, the stuff cause they, they've got like a bunch of equipment. Um, Steven. That's right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I didn't even, I didn't even say Steven was going to be at the show. Yeah. From relay FM. So all you relay FM people, uh, connected fans and, uh, everything else, Steven Hackett will be there. Um, we might have an Aaron Mankey sighting. No way. Bradley Chambers. Yep. Bradley Chambers. So I forget all the, uh, the, all the podcast brethren that will be there. So it's going to be really, really great. It really is. And Anna, I can't wait to, to meet you in person. Finally.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I'm so excited to get to meet both of you in person and to see your shop and to meet everybody who listens to the podcast and maybe possibly reads my blog.

'''Myke Hurley:''' If people are listening to this podcast and don't read your blog, I don't know what's happening.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Must be crazy. Problems.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Crazy people. Crazy people. So yeah, it, it's going to be really, really great. And I'm really, really excited. So it's, uh, not far away now. It's going to come a lot faster for you, Myke, than me and Anna. I think I'm like ready now. And you're like, I've got so much to do before then.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, but this is my last episode until the show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So scheduling update. This episode is Monday. Um, whatever day that is.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like the 20th. No, the 30th. 30th.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. So this episode is Monday to the 30th. We recorded in a box in case you couldn't tell. Yeah. In case you didn't know what day it is. And then the following week I'm recording with the previously mentioned Stephen Hackett. Yep. And then we're going to hold off episode 150 until the pen show. Episode. So there'll be kind of be like a week and a half, almost two week gap. Um, from one 49 to one 50. But one,

'''Myke Hurley:''' one 50 is going to be the live show. Yes. It was the case of like, we could have recorded, like what we were originally going to do was record on the Monday and then just record the, the show in person and then release it the following week. But then just randomly did the counting and realized that that week is 150. And it would have been so stupid to record episode 150 and do episode 151. Yep. That was, that was,

'''Brad Dowdy:''' we did not even consider that. And it was just absolutely dumb luck that that math worked out. That was not on our radar at all.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I was thinking as you were there, it was like a year ago that we did the episode 100. Wow. Like how insane is that? Like that does not feel like that long ago.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like when we had the t-shirts done and we did those crazy giveaways, like that was a great episode.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That was a good episode. All right. So what else y'all got? Ana, you got anything else? You, you ready to, to get on the road and get down here?

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yes. I'm desperately ready to, uh, come and hang out and look at pens, meet people. And it's just going to be awesome.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It really is. It's going to be so awesome.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm happy. I've got a trip in between. Because like, I don't have that like, oh, it's because I've, because I've got one thing in the middle. I'm like thinking about that thing. So I'm not like sitting here now. I've been like, ah, so far away, you know? Yep. So I'm so excited guys. I'm just, I cannot wait. Like, it's just going to be the, the best. Like I, I was, I was talking to somebody, um, meet up that we had, um, last week for, for upgrade. There was a couple of panic fans there. And we were actually talking about this. And saying like how me and you, Brad, we've recorded, uh, for like three years, maybe. Yeah. Let me see how long it's been. Cause I think it's a little bit longer than that because we took a, we took a break for a bit, didn't we? Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' A couple of months we were off.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, so let me see when episode one was, no, not 138. That's, that was recently, uh, February 9th, 2012. So we're over three years now, um, that we've been doing this show together. And that's the longest that I've like worked with anyone and never met them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, good. So we'll, we will, uh, take care of that in a few weeks time. Cannot wait, man. Can't wait either.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So we, are we done for today?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I think we're done for today. We're going to have to get on or back on to talk about all the, the pens and paper. She's been doing awesome stuff at the well-appointed desk, reading her awesome, uh, should we be back on in two episodes? Huh? Yeah.
